Potentates Lord it ouer townes and na∣tions: but against the deseases which growe upon them; and the approches of death, the most powerfull haue noe warrantie, but all conditions of men are equally lya∣ble, to sicknesse and death, the iuste pu∣nishments of sinne.
[Affection.] My soule, howeuer the grea∣te power we may seeme to haue, and the highth of dignitie wherin we are placed, makes vs oft forgett that we are the ba∣nished sonns of Eue, condemned to dye, before we attayne to the vse of the light: yet wholsome sicknesse makes vs all equal∣ly know, that man (be he neuer so power∣full) is but man: that is, a poore crea∣ture, borne of a woman, liuing a short tyme, replenished with many miseries. The sicknesses, the death the forgotten dust of all your Alexanders, and Caesars, crye out this truth, that all men, without exception, are doomed to dye. Make a ver¦tue of necessitie, my soule, by willingly accepting Gods iust iudgementes herein, which none euer yet, or to the end of the world euer shall, be able to auoyde.
